Overhere in Holland people get Dutch, English, German and French in high school.

But you can not truely learn a language in school... To learn a language you need to use it a lot. You need to live and breath it. You need to think in the other language instead of translating every sentence.

So i basically learned English and German by using it a lot, talking it on vacations and on the job. Reading English books and German magazines. Listening to English Music and watching English movies. And writing English on the Internet.

In school you only learn the basics of the language and then you need to use the tools they gave you to improve it to an acceptable level.
